Highlights from 10 Days in New York City
New York City is one of my favourite cities in the world as well as my favourite travel destination in the USA.

After spending 8 weeks in New York … Continue reading Highlights from 10 Days in New York City
10 Of The Best Neighbourhoods to Visit in Melbourne
Melbourne is best explored by neighbourhood. I’ve written this Melbourne neighbourhood guide with visitors in mind – these are my favourite inner city neighbourhoods which I think have the most to offer for visitors and represent the things that make Melbourne such a dynamic city (not to mention, the most liveable city in the world for seven years running).

A Visit to Noosa National Park
Noosa is a popular holiday beach town on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, a bit over an hour’s drive north of Brisbane. Despite spending a lot of my childhood in Noosa and around the Sunshine Coast, I hadn’t spent a lot of time in Noosa in year, and couldn’t remember ever visiting Noosa National Park – or not since I was old enough to remember … Continue reading A Visit to Noosa National Park
Exploring Yoyogi Park: Meiji Shrine, Earth Garden & The Tokyo Flea Market
As one of the biggest city parks in Tokyo, Yoyogi Park is a hive of activity. Yoyogi Park is home to the Meiji Shrine, as well as the Tokyo Flea Market. In spring it is a popular spot for enjoying the cherry blossom trees, but when we visited in Autumn, we found the Autumn instalment of the quarterly Earth Garden festival, which was a nice surprise.

To get the best out of Sydney’s dining and nightlife, you have to know where you’re going.

A Girls Weekend in Sydney
Sydney is the first stop for most travellers when they come to Australia, yet despite growing up not far north, in Brisbane, I felt like I hardly knew the city. I’ve visited on a childhood trip with my family, a few work trips and a couple of weekenders, but felt like I was missing what made Sydney so special. Since I moved from Brisbane to … Continue reading A Girls Weekend in Sydney
Highlights from a weekend in the Grampians
Last weekend, I visited The Grampians for the first time with two girlfriends, Olivia and Marlo. The Grampians National Park is one of the most beloved regions of Victoria, around four hours’ drive west of Melbourne. The park is enormous, and best explored in sections. We stayed in Hall’s Gap, which is close to more lookouts, mountains and hiking trails than we could possibly do in … Continue reading Highlights from a weekend in the Grampians
The Best Bars & Restaurants in New Orleans
New Orleans is famed for it’s complex, flavourful regional cuisine and vibrant nightlife. Eating and drinking in the city was an exploration of several layers of foreign cuisines at every meal – American, Southern, Cajun and Creole. Despite having a few must-try iconic New Orleans dishes on my to do list, I didn’t really have a list of particular cafes, bars or restaurants I wanted to … Continue reading The Best Bars & Restaurants in New Orleans
The Pantheon, Paris: Home of France’s Heroes
The elegant dome of the Pantheon is an iconic fixture of the Parisian skyline. I was excited to see inside, when I was in Paris for the first time, with my family. The Pantheon’s purpose is to serve history, but the building itself is also a legacy of Paris’ tumultuous history. Paris is a city that celebrates and honours the past better than any other city … Continue reading The Pantheon, Paris: Home of France’s Heroes
